Can Dugongs, Oriental Small Clawed Otters, and White handed Gibbons? Of course there would be islands for the gibbons and otters as well as a large pool for the dugongs.

Nope, the dugongs would be pestered by the otters and potentially be stressed to the point of death. But the others would work. |

I thought smaller otters were okay with Dugongs as they weren't as aggressive as larger species, Oriental Small Clawed Otters are the smallest Otter species IIRC. |

About the Okapi: They can be (And have been) combined with pretty much all Duiker species, Dik-dik, and various small monkeys and birds. Wouldn't risk Red River Hogs, since they're quite large and agressive. I hope you meant Manatee, as Dugong are entirely saltwater, very rare in captivity, and wouldn't just be "thrown in a pool in a weird combination." Dugongs are very vulnerable in stress, so certainly them I wouldn't combine. I think you should be okay when using Manatees instead, but then of course you have the issue of the fact that the habitat with the other species doesn't overlap. Aye-aye and Malagasy Giant Rat... Sure, I don't see why not. Aye-aye are pretty much entirely arboreal, whereas the Rats are entirely terrestrial, so they probably wouldn't even notice much of each other's precense. You do have to make sure that the Aye-aye could potentially have access to a seperate area, for they are quite easily stressed. |

Okay. I'll put the Dugongs in a separate exhibit. |

Does anyone know of some good combinations for a tropical rainforest themed zoo? I can't come up with some good combinations. |

In real life it would work but in the game long tailed ground rolled harass the lemurs so they don't drink. |

I really, really doubt that'd work. Lemurs don't tend to mix well (I don't recall ever seeing a mixed lemur habitat) and the birds are just too much in there. If anything there'd be way too many animals in the exhibit, let alone if they'd get along. |

How have you not seen a mixed lemur exhibit? I recall a few of them. For example... Denver Zoo- Mongoose Lemur/Ring Tailed Lemur San Francisco Zoo- Sclater's Lemur/ Ring Tailed Lemur/ Red Ruffed Lemur/ White-headed lemur Houston Zoo- Ring Tailed Lemur/ Red Fronted Lemur Catoctin Zoo- Black Lemur/Ring Tailed Lemur There is also a lemur/hyrax exhibit somewhere.

That seriously surprises me I have been to thirty something zoos and have never seen a mixed habitat But still, I don't think it's a good idea to have the lemurs with the birds. That's just asking for injury on one side or the other. (genuinely have no idea about the lemurs and wallabies) |

Well I had second thoughts so I'm just going to get rid of the Laysan Duck and the Nene, geese can get aggressive.
